Opacity Mask Artwork Link
so, i'm having trouble cs6 ai , artwork link opacity masks...for instance, have placed black-white image using "grunge effect" mask on group within artwork. problem having when 1 of 2 things (move artwork or copy/paste artwork file) mask not remain. have little link selected on opacity mask says "link artwork". tried "expanding" artwork no avail. missing setting or allow me "finalize" piece of artwork has opacity mask applied can use elsewhere?
i'm llustrator/forum amateur, please forgiving terminologies etc, welcome provide. thinking ai has setting or wrong. have watched tutorial on youtube guy moves artwork around once opacity mask linked, mine not did. it's weird , frustrating. normal?
thanks help!

edit: opened ai on office computer , tried opacity mask , worked far moving artwork around within same artboard. but, if copy , paste artwork new ai file, mask not remain. normal?
have made sure have artwork selected when try move / copy-paste artwork?
if have artwork selected in transparency panel, should able move or copy/paste image , retain transparency.
you may want try flattening opactiy mask if don't need retain mask. so, make sure artwork select shown above. then, go object > flatten transparency.
from there, slide raster/vector balance 100 , press okay.
your image split different sections, can merge/group or edit. can see below opactiy mask has dissapeared tranparency panel.
